Last week Grant Ward shot two more fellow SHIELD agents to death, the Girl in The Flower Dress learned the Clairvoyant could not see the future, and Agent John Garrett learned The Fridge had at least one floor he did not know about.

Also Phil Coulson’s SHIELD badge lit up with longitude and latitude coordinates, but all his supersmart teammates acted like he was an idiot to follow them.

ABC says of tonight’s “The Only Light In The Darkness”:

With their world turned upside down, Coulson races to save the life of his one true love as the mystery of "The Cellist," which began in Marvel's The Avengers, is finally revealed. Guest starring are Bill Paxton as Agent John Garrett, Patrick Brennan as Marcus Daniels, Amy Acker as Audrey, B.J. Britt as Agent Antoine Triplett, and Patton Oswalt as Agent Koenig. Written by Monica Owusu-Breen.

A new “Agents of SHIELD” did way better in the 9 p.m. “Goldbergs” timeslot than “The Goldbergs” typically does. That 2.1 was also “SHIELD’s” best demo score since Feb. 4. Those who insist ABC is going to cancel its most popular new show, candidly, demonstrate an imperfect understanding of how TV works.
